Telephone line
services

Tone or Pulse (Canada only)

If you have a Pulse dialing service, but must
send Tone signals (for example, for
telephone banking), follow these steps. If you
have Touch Tone service, you will not need
this feature to send tone signals.
a

 When Fax Preview is set to Off,
press (Fax).

(Fax) and Sending
Fax(es).
b
Press Hook.
c
Press # on the machine's Touchpanel.
Any digits dialed after this will send tone
signals.
When you are finished with the call, the
machine will return to the Pulse dialing service.

For Fax/Tel mode only

When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time
(pseudo/double-ringing) to alert you to pick
up a voice call.
If you are at the machine, lift the external
telephone's handset, and then press Pickup
to answer.
If you are at an extension telephone, lift the
handset during the F/T Ring Time and then
press #51 between the pseudo/double rings.
If no one is on the line, or if someone wants to
send you a fax, send the call back to the
machine by pressing l51.

Special line considerations

5
Roll over telephone lines
A roll over telephone system is a group of two
5
or more separate telephone lines that pass
incoming calls to each other if they are busy.
The calls are usually passed down or "rolled
over" to the next available telephone line in a
preset order.
Your machine can work in a roll over system
as long as it is the last number in the
sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not
place the machine on any of the other
numbers; when the other lines are busy and
a second fax call is received, the fax call
would be transferred to a line that does not
have a fax machine. Your machine will
work best on a dedicated line.
Two-line telephone system
A two-line telephone system is nothing more
than two separate telephone numbers on the
same wall outlet. The two telephone numbers
can be on separate jacks (RJ11) or combined
into one jack (RJ14). Your machine must be
plugged into an RJ11 jack. RJ11 and RJ14
jacks may be equal in size and appearance
and both may contain four wires (black, red,
green, yellow). To test the type of jack, plug in
a two-line telephone and see if it can access
5
both lines. If it can, you must separate the line
for your machine.
